Snow sticking in North Offaly now

This 'proper' snow boll*x needs to stop.

It's snowing and sticking readily in a lot of areas, even to below 100m asl.

A write off for Dublin however. Still 3 degrees here in D9. We needed the turn to be earlier as the precip no doubt wont be at much later.

Interesting few hours coming up for some with heavy settling snow in situ...

Just got a photo from my sister. Snow is sticking in Naas.

Heavy snow kk Laois border roads, grass, everything covered and well covered. Snow swirling and being blown around by gusts of wind. Very unexpected, but I’m gonna break out the kids sledges and puddle suits and make the very most of it for them

Gaoth Laidir

Sleety wet snow now in Celbridge (65 m amsl). Not worth a shíte.

Pelting down, sticking to everything. Blessington, 200m asl

demakinz

No snow in Cork but the amount of rain we go over the past few days :O

Went for a drive a while ago and there was more surface water than i've seen in quite a few years. Streams were overflowing and farmland extremely flooded in places.

Maybe not where you are, but inland it is!

The face of pessimism isn't always right!

Fairly heavy in carlow.

It turned to snow for a while here in West Clare, but back to rain since around 2, currently 4.2c and rising, precipitation nearly gone.

HelloMrSnowman

Extremely heavy in Newbridge atm, couple of cm already and no signs of stopping, might head out to the Curragh with the sleds and make the most of it

Xenji

Interesting to see the temperature variation around the country at the moment, Johnstown, Belmullet and Malin Head showing 10C, 9C and 8C respectively, while the majority of others are down to 3C or below.

This was not forecast for our area either. Roads are lethal.

1607 met update

Heavy rain, over much of Leinster, Munster and parts of south Ulster, will continue to fall as sleet and snow in places, giving some accumulations of snow and poor driving conditions. But mainly dry in west Ulster and west Connacht. Gusty northerly winds along the south coast.

Only rain in terenure!!!

At lunchtime they were saying no significant accumulations away from high ground,what sort of forecasting is that
Many major roads are covered and big towns

cnocbui

I am officially declaring this a major snow incident.

Bucketing down snow here in Kilkenny City.

DOCARCH

Sleet now in Dublin 16. 2.4c DP 1.4c now.

mfceiling

Not to sound smart but if people could post their location it would be great in case others are heading that way.
Not much point saying "loads here and the roads are slippy"... Not a great help to those maybe having to head out.

Edit * very heavy here at kingswood heading into Dublin on the N7*

Irish Steve

Snow falling in Ashbourne, which I didn't expect from the radar pictures. Not sticking at present, large enough flakes, and heavy enough to be nice to watch, but still surprised to see it today.

Pissing snow in oldbawn Tallaght for the last 20 minutes
